Career Mentoring
Our Career Mentoring approach is designed to support the articulation and achievement of career goals.
A successful, rewarding and worthwhile career does not happen by chance. Opening the right doors and
making the right decisions requires a different focus, additional skills and a considered approach to research,
personal development and networking.
We are experienced in working with people in achieving full time as well as plural careers in the business,
financial, professional services, academic, charitable or public world, including an overseas move in some
cases.
Our mentors, coaches and advisors have all successfully made major career transitions at senior level. They
understand the subtleties of managing the external profile of people who are well known in a particular
market. In addition, they have a proven track record of working with executives to achieve successful
transitions.
We help our clients progress confidently by:
- Providing a Lead Mentor who, working with the individual, orchestrates the involvement of the
ensemble of IDDAS advisors, network contacts and research capability to create individualised
transition support
- Dedicating an unparalleled amount of time to each individual, ensuring that individuals receive the
best input and guidance from the most appropriate mentor, who can add value at a particular stage
- Providing clients with access to expert input from the full range of the IDDAS team, including

- Providing clients with appropriate introductions to leading search firms and wider networks
